New HAVEN. Conn. Sept. News
was received In this city from Canaan,
this state OF a fisticun duel between
Ericsson Shepard, a millionaire from Buff
falo, N Y, and Emmanuel c.. Trow-
bridge, q well known metropolitan So
ciety man, Much excitement was created
oyer the affair, and club circles in New
TTorh will have sweet morsel to digest
for senie months to come. As usual, there
is a Woman in the case. Mr.. Shepard
spends his summer at his homestead in
Canaan. During his stay there he be-
came acquainted with the belle of the
village, Miss Jennie Darlington. He Is
al unmarried man and paid his attentions
TO Miss Darlington without molestati0E
from other courtiers until about a month
ago, When MIR. Trowbidge came from
New York TO spend the summer with
friends at Canaan. He met Miss Caring
ton at a ball, and at once ssas.a love: He
pressed his suit and met withSencourage-
ment from the lady much to the chagrin
of Mr.. Shepard.
The two gentlemen were introduced to
each other one evening q week ago,
when the millionaire made some remarks
about Miss Darlington not of a compli-
mentary character. Mr.. Trowbridge re.
scented MI. Shepard's remarks, and
whom he was taken to ask about the
matter, not only reiterated the statement
but proposed to attest to the truth of the
remarks. Thereupon Mr.. 1rowbridge
made a statement very derogatory to the
m~illionaire's character for yeracity and
remarked that were 1T not for contami-
mating his hands he would proceed then
and there to extract satisfaction from his
cuticle. The men We're separated with
difficulty, and the next day the following
was sent to Mr.. Trowbridge:
"SIR--I will meet you any time and
any place you may design, at within
thirty days, To fight to a finish with half
ounce gloves for &c. 600 a side or more.
/ have got the rocks. If you don't be-
lieye it just inquire ut the Chemical
Bank, New York, To fight a duel with
you with pistols would be too much of a
compliment, and l would not shoot you
in your track, ! am, sir,
Ericsson SHEPARD"
Trowbridge met the sender of the letter
while driving on the outskirts of the
town. Both men got out of their cur.
riages Rnd a wordy war ensued,
no n but their coachmen be-
ing witnesses. Finally Shepard ap-
piled an epithet to the young lady
In question, and ~Trowbridge promptly
resented it by giving the millionaire a
blow in the face which felled him. He
arose wild with rage, and a regular prize
fight ensueG. The coachmen in their
endeayor to part the fighters got into AN
alteration themselves, and long after
their masters had become wearied, bat
tered and bruised, they were still rolling
on the turf pummelling each other. The
quartet drove to their homes, and neither
Mr.. Shepard nor Mr.. ~Trowbridge has ap
peared on the street. since. The Vttls
town is wild with excitement over The
affair. Shepard made his wealth In the
wholesale liquor business.
